Malice
At the beginning of the series, Maquin and Kastell are acting as guards in a merchant train heading to Halstat. Outside Forn Forest, the train is attacked by a band of Hunen giants. The Hunen are searching for the starstone axe, which had been stolen from King Romar and was being transported to Halstat, unbeknownst to them. The only two survivors, Maquin and Kastell flee, with the giants in pursuit. Romar saves them.

Maquin and Kastell accompany Romar to the King's Council. While there, they help Veradis save a child from a carpet of ants. Maquin, Kastell and Veradis become friends.
